Abstract
Motivated by the requirements of modern archaeology, we are developing an automated system for archaeological classification and reconstruction of ceramics. The goal is to create a tool that satisfies the criteria of accuracy, performance (findings/hour), robustness, transportability, overall costs, and careful handling of the findings. Following our previous work, we present new achievements on the documentation steps for 3D acquisition, 3D data processing, and 3D reconstruction. We have improved our system so that it can handle large quantities of ceramic fragments efficiently and computes a more robust orientation of a fragment. In order to store the sherd data acquired and hold all the information necessary to reconstruct a complete vessel, a database for archaeological fragments was developed. We will demonstrate practical experiments and results undertaken onsite at different excavations in Israel and Peru.
